Kittie’s Morgan Lander On Gender Perceptions

Kittie spoke with the Dallas Music Guide about the continued attention they are receiving as a result of being women in a male-dominated musical genre. Asked if they’ve gotten past the preconceived notions people have about them because of their gender, Kittie frontwoman Morgan Lander said, “I don’t think we ever will be, as unfortunate as it is. We’re all still girls, and that will never change the public’s opinion or how some people view women in music and in metal, but by no means are we sitting here and whining about it. We have a great time, we’re a great band, and that’s cool. People are missing out. Unfortunately, a lot of people still see us as they saw us back in 1999 when we first came out. We’re grown-ass women now, you know what I mean. We’re not fifteen anymore, whining about certain things, we’re just kickin’ it. We strive to be better, and we’re allowed to do that, every band is.”
